Description
Margaret Durrell's memoir of her life in Bournemouth in the 1940s and 1950s is a fascinating account of her experiences as a single mother and boarding house owner. With a foreword from her famous nephew, Gerald Durrell, this book offers a unique insight into the lives of the people who lived in her boarding house, including a cast of eccentric tenants and her own two sons, who were known for their mischievous antics. The story is full of humorous anecdotes and stories of the unusual animals that Gerald Durrell would bring home, which often proved unsuitable for life in a Bournemouth garden. Margaret Durrell's memoir is a charming and entertaining read, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the people who lived through it. Published in 2018, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the lives of ordinary people living in extraordinary circumstances.
